A Mentor's Perspective

About the Book

The book is a perspective view of the session process that I use during my work as a mentor, with my mentees. The book is also a kind of an instruction manual. Firstly, we have the written version, then also I have done it in a visual way, for people who understand things more easily in visual formats. Secondly, the book acts as a training manual for people new to the mentoring profession, to help them to a better understanding of the relationships between mentor and mentee.
